Metallic & Non-Metallic Minerals: Column Flotation

The concentration of minerals by column flotation is a key mineral processing technology. CPT has designed, supplied and commissioned over 500 flotation columns for cleaning, roughing and scavenging duties, worldwide, for metal and non-metal mineral processing operations.

Oil Sands: Bitumen Froth Flotation

CPT, together with Eriez, is leading the development of advances in column flotation systems to recover bitumen in oil sands applications. CPT BitPro flotation columns are typically used in secondary and tertiary flotation stages, recovering valuable bitumen or returning cleaned process water.

Produced Water: Oil Water Separation

Jointly developed with Chevron, the VOSCell® flotation column treats any petroleum effluent stream requiring a high degree of oil-water separation. Its vertical design and small footprint make it particularly suitable for offshore oil platform applications.

Coal: Coal Froth Flotation

CPT has made remarkable advances in fine coal recovery with a column flotation and sparging system able to effectively float both classified and unclassified coal fines. CPT CoalPro flotation columns are used extensively in most major coal preparation plants in North America and are quickly gaining international acceptance.

Organic Recovery

Used primarily in SX/EW (solvent extraction and electrowinning) circuits, CPT flotation columns recover the residual organic reagent (lixiviant) from rich electrolytic solutions prior to electrowinning.

Gold/Silver Cyanidation

Spargers for Air/O2 Injection into CIP/CIL Gold Leach Tanks “The most cost effective injection system for leaching processes” CPT's SlamJet gas sparging systems have proven to be highly effective in producing the optimally sized bubbles required for maximising oxygen mass transfer rates.
